First, the pic on the left shows the nice detail in my retirement watch. I really like the colors, detail, hand design, and the clean look! I thought you’d want to take a moment to appreciate it haha.
Second, I figured out a way to make it work kind of like a GMT watch that’s designed to show two time zones. If you start the chronograph (stop watch) at such a time that it is noon or midnight in the second time zone you want to track, then you get the advantage of having the hour counter hand (right pic) showing you the time in another zone. In this example the watch is showing it’s quarter to ten in my home zone, and that it’s almost 2p in the second time zone (lower left circle, singe hand just above the 6 o’clock position). That happens to be universal coordinated time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) which is four hours ahead of us currently. So I started the chronograph at 8:00:00. You get the added benefit of the chronograph second’s hand acting like a sweep second hand for either time zone too instead of it being stopped at 12 o’clock when you’re not running the chronograph (like it’s shown on the left pic).
Just a fun little hack I figured out.
